Just stepping in to encourage development to add this feature soon!
Use case:
Sole proprietorships, vendor relationships, just documenting the stuff to maintain a home.
I want to keep track of my plumber or water heater installer - by the name of the guy, as well as the name of his company.
Making a person object and an organization object (and an asset object) just to track a new water heater seems excessive. I really just want an organization object with a person property that can also be an alias.

Yup, agreed, this is sorely needed from different perspectives. Be it language, nicknames, different letterings or pronunciations. Please add this!

PLEASE. Same scenario as Sæb Har. Right now, I have to name a lot of objects with both English and Portuguese titles, but that sucks because it doesn’t generate unmentioned links. I also have many pages where I could use acronyms. In theory, I could force myself to always use the acronyms instead of the full names, but the problem is exactly that—forcing myself. I’d constantly have to remind myself, which would break my flow.

This would be especially helpful for anyone working in more than one language – as I'm sure the team behind Capacities will understand!

Wondering if there has been any movement on this request. As a philosophy grad student I refer to authors frequently in my notes. In order to link relevant notes to particular authors, I have been setting them up as People objects and so far this has been pretty good. HOWEVER, it would be so much better if I could set their last name an alias so when I link to the Person object I a) don't have to display their whole name in the note which disrupts the flow of the text, or b) don't have to take extra steps to mouseover the link, hit edit, and then type out the name I've already selected. It would flow much more smoothly to be able to just type "@lastname", select the appropriate person from the list, and have the link display only what I've typed.
Thank you for your consideration, I'm really loving Capacties so far!

Merged in a post:
Allow aliases for titles

In Logseq you can have a property called
alias
that it can be used for search for pages. So for example you have a coworker which nickname is "Mike" but real name is "Michael Scott", you can refer in notes as Mike, but in the Person object it's displayed with his real name.D

This idea is called "Page aliases", but I'm looking for aliases for all object types

That would be really helpful. Please, implement it.

Yeah this is definitely necessary for me to keep my notes clean and readable
